Web site provides Minnesota county truck weight info
The Minnesota Truck-Weight Compliance Program Web site, developed in 2006 for Mn/DOT’s State Aid Division by Minnesota LTAP, has introduced a new tool for finding basic county-level truck weight information.
A clickable, county-level Minnesota state map provides county contact information as well as links, where available, to maps detailing restrictions for bridges and seasonal load. Information, resources, and functionality vary, depending on the county. (The tool is still in development; send comments to Minnesota LTAP.)
The program Web site, hosted on the Minnesota LTAP site, also includes a number of other useful features, including the schedule for upcoming workshops, links to key resources, and sample weight calculations with quizzes to check your knowledge.
The Minnesota Truck-Weight Compliance Program promotes voluntary compliance to significantly reduce damage to public roads and highways and the resulting repairs and expense due to overweight vehicles. The program’s sponsors and partners are Mn/DOT, the Minnesota Local Road Research Board (LRRB), Northland Community and Technical College, and Minnesota LTAP.
